White peppercorns are
allowed to fully ripen to a red color before being picked. They are then
soaked for several days in a brine solution that helps to loosen the dark
outer haul of the peppercorns. The outer hauls are then removed to reveal
the white inner kernels we know as white peppercorns.

These white peppercorns are
from India and have a slightly hotter flavor. They help keep light colored
dishes light.

The Plant
Which Produces White Peppercorns:

*We cannot take returns on

The same plant that
produces white peppercorns also produces both black and green peppercorns,
Piper nigrum. The difference depends on
when the pepper berries are picked and how they are handled.

These peppercorns are
allowed to fully ripen to a red color before being picked. They are then
soaked for several days in a brine solution that helps to loosen the dark
outer haul of the peppercorns. These outer hauls are then polished away to
reveal the white inner kernels we know as white peppercorns.

From India, these
peppercorns have a slightly hotter flavor and keep dark specks out of
light colored dishes and sauces. They are the preferred pepper in much of
the world. White pepper actually comes from the same species of plant as
black peppercorns, but has been allowed to fully ripen and has had the
black outer husks removed. See Piper nigrum above.

These peppercorns go especially well in sauces, on light colored meats
such as fish, and even in mashed potatoes.

Piper
nigrum: The peppercorn plant belongs to the
piperaceae plant family. It is a woody evergreen vine that grows up to 11
yards tall and has dark-green, broad, somewhat oval shaped leaves. They
use aerial roots to help them cling to, and climb trees.

Peppercorn plants have small white flowers
that bloom in clusters of up to 150 florets and hang down in a spike.
These flowers then ripen into the little berries that we know as
peppercorns. It takes several years for a young plant to flower and begin
to produce fruit (the peppercorns).

Since peppercorn plants prefer a hot,
humid, tropical environment, they are mostly produced in India, although
they are produced in Indonesia, Brazil, and other tropical places. Black
pepper often takes on the name of the region where it is produced, or the
port from which it is exported. Malabar, Tellicherry, Singapore, Bangkok,
Sarawak, and Belém are common examples of this.

Three different kinds of peppercorns are
produced by Piper nigrum: black, white, and green.

These pepper
berries will be ready to harvest for white peppercorns once they all fully
mature and turn red.
